Obama Commemorative Coins – Caveat Emptor

Sweetness and Light has video from a Portland TV station investigating complaints about these “commemorative coins”, which are apparently just regular US currency with stickers applied to them! Here’s an ad:


Caveat emptor…let the buyer beware!

“You’ve got to order quickly!”

Heh. Sounds like the stimulus package!
As Jerry Reid (no relation to Harry) once said, “He who expects little shall not be disappointed!”
Or as commenter Spartacus noted:

A very thin, shallow image applied to something of little substantial individual value. Seems proper to me, so far. They’re being ripped off exactly how?

Heh.

    Clint: They did put more stickers on quarters than anything else, so I guess we can call him a “two bit” politician!

    The stickers may have been a feeble attempt at “transparancy”, so you could see the coins underneath!

    Similiar to this socialistic, power-grabbing, welfare spendathon with a stimulus bill sticker on it.

    I’ve got the “Pet Rock Syndrome” – WISH I’D THOUGHT OF IT! Make a ton of money in this free market, capitalistic society (what’s left of it) off of the idiots who voted for Kapitän Zero. They also got in on the deal before using the Kapitän’s image for profit is outlawed.
